Executive Director Barb Steele has a knack for bringing out the best in people. Given the talent and impact of Ashoka Canada’s network, Barb—a natural community-builder—has a lot to be excited about. Her next steps: tapping into Ashoka’s global network and showcasing the amazing work of the Canadian Fellows. She is spearheading a Listening Tour with our Canadian Fellows, and is building our new vision from their inspiring insights.
Barb comes to Ashoka after a decade of purpose-based work, building from a prior corporate career in marketing. She’s an eternal optimist, motivated by growing good things and building dynamic teams. Get to know her, and you’ll find she is also a lover of coffee, a mother of three young adults, and a enthusiastic cyclist.
